Woodcarving a leaf bowl out of basswood

 
























Tools and materials I propose:

Bandsaw

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

No4 hand plane

Mineral oil

PROXXON Longneck Angle Grinder

Cabinet Scraper set

Flexcut starter carving set

PFEIL Carving Set

Flat rasp

Round rasp

Flat file

Round file

Spoon carving knives



In this video I carve a wood bowl out of basswood. I used mostly hand tools. I also used a few power carving tools in some situations.


I begun by drawing the basic shape of my bowl. 


I then started removing material with a gouge. 


Once I was deep enough I used my small grinder with a rasp disc to even the surface. 


I then used a goose neck scraper to smooth the surface even more. 


Then I cut the outer shape on the bandsaw. 


I started shaping with gouges and my small grinder. 


At this point I decided the interior needed more work. This time I used my spoon carving knife to reach a few difficult spots. 


Once I was happy I used files, the grinder, sand paper and scrapers to smooth everything up. 


I flattened the base on my jointer and I finished the bowl with mineral oil.


I didn’t smooth everything completely. I kind of like the hand tools texture but you can sand it to shine if you like. 


It was a really interesting project, but that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
